ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

                  On February 12, 1998, USA Networks Partner, Inc., a subsidiary
of Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal"), sold its 50 percent interest in USA
Networks to USA Networks, Inc. (formerly known as HSN, Inc.) ("USAi") and
Universal contributed the remaining 50 percent interest in USA Networks and its
domestic television production and distribution operations to USANi LLC (the
"LLC"), a subsidiary of USAi, pursuant to the terms of an Investment Agreement,
dated as of October 19, 1997, as amended and restated as of December 18, 1997,
among Universal, for itself and on behalf of certain of its subsidiaries, HSN,
Inc., Home Shopping Network, Inc. and Liberty Media Corporation, for itself and
on behalf of certain of its subsidiaries. Universal and USAi also expect to form
a 50-50 joint venture to be managed by Universal which will own, operate and
exploit the international development of USA Networks, Sci-Fi Channel and a new
action/suspense channel known as "13th Street," unless USAi elects not to
participate in such venture in which case Universal will acquire USAi's 50
percent interest (or Sci-Fi Europe and USA Networks' international business) for
a price to be agreed upon. In exchange therefor, on February 12, 1998, Universal
received consideration valued at $4.075 billion, consisting of (i) shares of
common stock and class B common stock of USAi and shares of the LLC which are
exchangeable for shares of common stock and class B common stock of USAi,
collectively representing an effective 45.8 percent interest in USAi and (ii)
approximately $1.3 billion in cash paid to USA Networks Partner, Inc. The
consideration was determined pursuant to discussions among senior officers of
The Seagram Company Ltd. ("Seagram"), Universal and USAi.

                  In connection with the transaction, Universal nominated Edgar
Bronfman Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Seagram, Robert W.
Matschullat, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Seagram, Frank J.
Biondi, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Universal, and Samuel
Minzberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Claridge Inc., to the Board
of Directors of USAi, each of whom was appointed to the Board effective upon the
consummation of the transaction. In addition, Barry Diller, the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of USAi, was appointed to the Board of Directors of
Seagram effective upon the consummation of the transaction.

                  A copy of Seagram's press release dated February 12, 1998 is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

                  THE SEAGRAM COMPANY LTD. UNAUDITED CONDENSED
                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is
presented to reflect the estimated impact of the following transactions on The
Seagram Company Ltd.'s ("Seagram") income statements for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997 and six months ended December 31, 1997, and balance sheet as of
December 31, 1997:

- -     acquisition of incremental 50 percent interest in USA Networks, including
      the Sci-Fi Channel, for $1.7 billion in cash.

- -     sale of 50 percent interest in USA Networks to USA Networks, Inc. ("USAi",
      formerly HSN, Inc.) and the contribution of the remaining 50 percent
      interest in USA Networks and the majority of the television assets ("UTV")
      of Universal Studios, Inc. ("Universal"), including all of Universal's
      domestic operations and 50 percent of the international operations of USA
      Networks, to USANi LLC (the "LLC") in a transaction ("the transaction") in
      which Universal received $1,332 million in cash, 6.75 million shares of
      USAi consisting of approximately 3.6 million shares of common stock and
      3.2 million shares of Class B common stock which in aggregate represents a
      10.7 percent interest in USAi, and a 45.8 percent interest in a 
      subsidiary ("LLC") of USAi which is exchangeable for USAi common stock 
      and Class B common stock.

The consolidated pro forma balance sheet assumes that the transaction occurred 
on December 31, 1997, whereas the pro forma consolidated statements of income 
assume that both the purchase of the incremental 50 percent interest in USA 
Networks and the transaction occurred at the beginning of each of the 
respective periods presented.

The pro forma adjustments relating to the acquisition of the interest in LLC are
based on assumptions relating to the allocation of the purchase price and are
subject to revision. The effect of any revisions is not expected to be material.

The consolidated pro forma income statements are not necessarily indicative of 
the results that would have occurred if the transactions had been in effect 
since the assumed dates, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results.

The condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Seagram filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997.

                THE SEAGRAM COMPANY LTD. UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTARY
                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The unaudited supplementary pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial
information included elsewhere in this Form 8-K.

The unaudited supplementary pro forma financial information includes attributed
revenues which reflect Seagram's proportionate share of the revenues of
Seagram's equity companies and attributed earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for Seagram's operations which reflects
the proportionate share of the EBITDA of Seagram's equity companies. The
adjustment for equity companies eliminates Seagram's proportionate share of the
revenues and EBITDA in order to reflect revenues and equity income as calculated
under generally accepted accounting principles. Financial analysts generally
consider EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance.
However, EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for
operating income, net income, cash flows and other measures of financial
performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
